NSFW for language, but a great read. This was originally in Alan Aragon's research review but they've made it public access: http://www.bodyrecomposition.com/fat-loss/another-look-at-metabolic-damage.html#more-9313
EDIT: Highly recommend joining Alan's research review. I've been a member for a couple of years now and it's fantastic.

Bump. Because so many people need to read this and so many other things on these 2 individuals.
But of course the ones that should read stuff like this won't. I love Alan's method of delivery, so real, hopefully other words think it's "unsupportive and rude"
Thanks SideSteel, as always.0 -

Good read. I really liked the bit how he referenced water retention could mask weight loss for up to 10 weeks. I thought that number was a little extreme, but would make sense for a lot of people that experience the 3-6 week "plateaus".0

Dude... I basically quit posting to this board about a year ago and decided I was bored enough to come back and lurk and I see that SideSteel is still posting good info. Great article. I've been saying the same thing about "starvation mode" slows but doesn't stop for a long while and water retention screws up everything, but got frustrated with the ongoing debates!
Glad to read that article. I have several of Lyle's books and even if you don't do any of his regimens, the info he delivers is priceless.0 -
